On his blog, Danny Stack notices that Channel 4 are inviting applications for Coming Up, "The only talent scheme currently in the UK where emerging filmmakers have the opportunity to make an authored drama with a guaranteed network broadcast."

The scheme is open to writers, directors and writer-directors.

This is not an entry level scheme - but for writers and directors building a track record and a career in film and television drama. Submissions from multi-cultural and regionally-based filmmakers are encouraged.

Channel Four's partner in the scheme is Touchpaper TV. The closing date for applications is 17 April 2009.

We've redesigned our main website to bring together all our content at www.writersguild.org.uk - come on over and take a look.
